LG 1.13 - Anatomy of Leg

Question 1

Explain sensory and motor deficits that could result from nerve injury: tibial n.

Answer 1

deficit: motor: plantar flexion, knee flexion
sensory: lower medioposterior leg

Question 2

Explain sensory and motor deficits that could result from nerve injury: common fibular n.

Answer 2

deficit: motor: unable to dorsiflex - foot drop (also, unable to extend toes, inversion, eversion)
sensory: upper, lateral leg

Question 3

Explain sensory and motor deficits that could result from nerve injury: deep fibular n.

Answer 3

deficit: motor : dorsiflexion, inversion, toe extension compromised
sensory: foot (between 1st and 2nd toe)

Question 4

Explain sensory and motor deficits that could result from nerve injury: superficial fibular n.

Answer 4

deficit: motor: foot eversion compromised
sensory: lower, lateroanterior leg

Question 5

Identify actions that would be weakened or lost by tendon rupture

Answer 5

eg, Achilles tendon: deficit: unable to plantar flex

Question 6

Mnemonic for anterior compartment of the leg?

Answer 6

FEET

Question 7

Explain sensory and motor deficits that could result from nerve injury: saphenous n.

Answer 7

motor:
sensory: entire length of medioanterior and medioposterior leg
